Future of Wynne Evans BBC show revealed after crude sex comment to Janette on Strictly tour
THE future of Wynne Evans’ BBC show has been revealed after his crude sex comment on the Strictly tour.
The under fire star was forced to apologise after he was caught on video making the comment to It Takes Two host Janette Manrara.
It occurred during the press day for Strictly Come Dancing‘s live tour earlier this month.
While the cast members were gathered for photographs, a grinning Wynne made a derogatory sexual joke to Janette and actor Jamie Borthwick about having a “spit roast”.
In an apology, Wynne called his language “inappropriate and unacceptable.”
He was given a stern reprimand from bosses and is now on his final warning after a series of questionable moments.
Following the controversy, the BBC will still air his new travel show with Joanna Page tonight at 8:30pm.
The friends will sail off as they explore the coast of South Wales.
A synopsis reads: “Old friends Wynne Evans and Joanna Page embark on an unforgettable adventure along the south Wales coastline, travelling by boat from Cardiff to St David’s.
“Their mission? To rediscover the art of relaxation, reconnect with Wales, explore the breathtaking coastal scenery, learn the basics of sailing – and most importantly, have fun!”
Gavin and Stacey star Joanna, 47, filmed the six-part series with Wynne, 53, last year.
Dad-of-two Wynne is no stranger to a TV scandal.
Wynne previously came under fire in last year’s Strictly series when he was seen groping his dance partner Katya Jones, but they dismissed it as a joke.
Wynne Evans' Strictly scandals
‘Grope’
Wynne encountered a backlash after his Strictly pro partner Katya was filmed removing his hand from her waist.
Fans insisted she looked uncomfortable as she moved it away – but Katya later insisted there was no problem.
In joke
They then sparked further fury, when she was seen refusing to high-five the Opera singer.
The duo were quick to issue a video apology and insisted it was all an innocent “inside joke”.
Crude joke
Wynne came under fire for allegedly telling a “crude” joke to one of the show’s make-up artists.
Insiders claim the opera star made a joke that the folds of his double chin “looked like a vagina”.
A source said: “It was a bit of a vulgar dad joke.”
Vile comment
Wynne was recorded suggesting a three-way sex session with presenter Janette Manrara, using the term “spit roast”.
His remark came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, which pro Janette, 41, is hosting.
He reportedly pulled a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when Evans allegedly made the joke.
Wynne has apologised saying: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”
